Fruits growing in the food forest

I was showing you last month of the Blooming Fruit trees in the food forest. Sadly, between last month and now there was three days of frost that killed the plum and pear fruits. I'm not sure the Nectarines and Peach will fruit either considering they have not began flowering. The Fig trees are finally leafing out, so I am hoping to have a Fig harvest some time this garden year.

Despite all of the fruit setbacks, we have already began to see grapes coming on, nearly 30 clusters on one plant and 20 on the other. There are several blueberry plants with clusters of fruit. A couple of strawberry plants are fruiting as well.
